Famed pioneer Daniel Boone, upon seeing the Bluegrass region for the first time in 1769, wrote, From the top of an eminence, we saw with pleasure the beautiful level of Kentucke. Centuries later, his sentiments still ring true.
In this fast-paced collection of articles from his widely successful Looking Back column in Kentucky Monthly magazine, author Tom Stephens delivers a captivating glimpse into Kentuckys renowned Bluegrass region. Hide
